Conviction of all perverse and obstinate persons, which be §2wedded to their wills, and of every one which taketh pleasure in sin, that naughtiness hath place in his heart. But who told us what is in their minds and affections, what they best love and like of? Shall we be judges of their consciences? They tell ⟨p. 5⟩us in word and deed which way their heart is inclined, their lewd and licentious exercises bewray and discover their inward corruptions. Who heareth not their tongues say that they are unchastly minded, when their lips be usually talking impurely? doeth not lust and lewdness issue out of their mouths? And will not immodest and wanton behaviour and dalliances declare as much to mens eyes? Who seeth not a covetous affection showing forth it self by greedy seeking of gain, and commodity? And doeth not ambition, and insolencie, and garishness, testify against proud persons to their faces? So do riot, unthriftiness, and voluptuous living, perpetually cry out upon Epicures and belly-gods.
